The blonde moment.

We all have had our blonde moments, and just 10 minutes ago, Dhoni had his.

12 runs off 12 balls. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to know you'd have to utilize one of your better bowlers available.

But no... Dhoni gave the ball to Jacob David Phillip Oram. An imposing figure, standing at 1.98m tall, he could seriously scare a batsman with his height. But not with his bowling :|

Big-Jake, has not bowled a single ball, over the last few games of the team's campaign, and his batting form is quite awry. So much for confidence. Asking this chap to bowl a tidy over is a far fetched idea. Something like trying to woo a lesbian woman. Wishful thinking indeed. *pardon me for the analogy. At 11:43 pm, I can't think very well :P*

And he starts off, jogging up to the bowler's crease, and lets it go with a slow, 'tear the leather off this ball will you' action. It culminates into the WORST full toss any guy with a physically able upper limb, and an intact CNS could ever bowl. Above waist-height, no ball, and Taylor helps it over the ropes, game over.

Sometimes, it pays to be conventional, and things can seriously screw up if you do something illogically different. Sport teaches a thing or two about life, be it football, tennis or boring F1 *yeap, i dont think it is even a sport :|*
